Kapušany Castle
Kapušiansky hrad sa vypína vysoko na kopci, takže jeho dominantu je jasne vidno už pri výjazde z Prešova smerom na Vranov nad Topľou. Aj dnes je to ešte krásna, pomerne zachovalá zrúcanina.
Slovak opal mines
Cave, Experience
A world-unique location of the oldest opal mines extends amidst the realm of Slánske vrchy mountains. The Dubnik mines are an internationally, historically, and culturally important area whose roots date back to pre-Roman times. Precious Slovak opal enchanted many monarchs, alchemists, and poets. Even today, it may also fascinate you.
Look into the depths of the earth and explore the world of precious opal.
A fascinating story of the treasure of the Slovak mountains begins at a place where history, stories and legends come together. A mysterious atmosphere of ancient times awaits you on the way underground. Working in the mine required a lot of effort, as evidenced by the kilometres of manually excavated corridors into extremely harsh andesite. During the tour, you will find out how our forefathers were looking for precious opal and what tools they used. You will get to know dozens of accompanying opal minerals and you will surely see opal veins. We will introduce you to the mining technique and its gradual development, and when you listen carefully, you will hear the sounds of the demanding work of miners.
We will lend you helmets and lamps free of charge before entering the mine. The mine is partially illuminated, but its own flashlights that enhance your experience. In the mine you may also enjoy total darkness in the 36-metre long corridor, where you can only orient yourself by touch.
Put on your helmet, let’s get started!
